AmaZulu FC head coach Pablo Franco Martin has hinted at his side’s department that needs to be reinforced in the upcoming January transfer window.
The KZN outfit underwent a massive squad revamp prior to the start of the current season. More than 15 players departed while the club also welcomed over than 10 signings.
Moreover, they loaned out the defender Sandile Khumalo who’ll spend this season at the Motsepe Foundation Championship outfit Black Leopards.
Martin seems to have quite small and manageable squad. However, he has admitted AmaZulu have been struggling in the striking department.
He said the club could bring in some reinforcements in January to as they look to find solutions in front of goal.

“We are finding it hard to convert but the whole thing is we are competitive. We are having chances, we are getting points and we are improving, which is the most important thing,” Martin told the media.
“We’re in that process and hopefully, our [upfront] players are going to improve and they are going to score the chances they are having.
“Probably in January, we could have some signings so we can improve that capacity in the last third.
“Then we can win more games and achieve objectives we are having as a club, coaching staff and part of the team.”
In the last window, Usuthu tried to sign a Guinean striker Yakhouba Gnagna Barry, however, the deal collapsed after the 25-year-old failed medicals.
